OpenWeb ADSL Feedback Thread (Pt2)

Which area are you in?

Gauteng and surrounds is currently shaped on NNTP and torrents. We expect things to quieten down in the next hour or so.

Western Cape and surrounds is still shaped but not as badly.

KZN and surrounds looks great!

Thanks cableguy, yes I'm in Jhb.
 
I will comment in here where relevant.
I am biding my time now, I want to see which ISP will work for me. I have some friends fortunately, one is trying out Afrihost, the other is trying Axxess.

All I will say is, they ARE shared accounts... Since going to OW my e-mail accounts, regardless of where, have been spammed far more than ever before.
 
Downgrade to the cheapest account now and then submit cancellation, take the knock and use another ISP for the next month, is what I would do :)

I wish I had done this! Should have asked to be downgraded to a 10gb capped account at R49pm and then submitted my cancellation.

Now I have to pay for another month of useless gold uncapped. Oh well...
 
I've sent a link to this thread to rpm, he said he will look into this account sharing. I'm not getting my hopes up that anything will come from this, but maybe someone will actually realize all the fraud that is going on here.

Where's the link between shared ADSL accounts and spam mail?
 
I am also curious now,

My account name assigned to me is ****@openweb.co.za

Although my control panel still indicates a previous account name
****@openweb.co.za

@Cableguy, please reset my password to something other than ****. Most of my Openweb accounts have this password.

Hi Aquadyne,

Please PM me with your details so that we can activate the password self management tool for you.

Please be careful, you have now in one post published your ADSL username and password on a public forum.

Never publicly post your password. Remove it, as well as your username...

Read the thread before just posting crap. Openweb only has like 2 different passwords assigned to most of their accounts.

He posted his username and password for his adsl accounts. I'm trying to warn him not to do so, not only now, but as a rule of thumb. Kindly direct your attitude elsewhere if you're pissed off because my bite is far worse than your bark...

:D internet heroes.
 
Not at all.

The client in question must please email us so that we can investigate this matter.

Looks pretty clear that he's implying that I'm full of it. I'll see if I can get screenshots of the emails with timestamps, tomorrow.

I believe both of them already have. Should they request there emails be forwarded to anybody specific? They've been dealing with a lady whose name is escaping me right now.
